So, you’ve pre-purchased a Heroic or Epic Edition of Dragonflight, or perhaps purchased a standalone level boost, and you’re eagerly awaiting the moment you can catapult a character to level 60 (or 70, if purchasing directly in Dragonflight). But where is it? Why isn’t it showing up? Don’t panic! The answer usually lies in one of a few places, and we’ll explore those and provide some troubleshooting tips.

The first place to check is the character selection screen. After purchasing the boost, a clickable icon should appear on the character selection screen, prominently displaying that a boost is available. It will be easily identifiable and will prompt you to choose a character to apply the boost to. If you don’t see it here, don’t despair.

Troubleshooting Your Missing Dragonflight Boost

Let’s dive into some troubleshooting steps to locate your elusive boost:

Transaction History: Your first stop should be your Battle.net account’s Transaction History. This is the definitive record of all your Blizzard purchases. Log in to your Battle.net account on the website, navigate to your account settings, and find the Transaction History section. Look for the Dragonflight Heroic/Epic Edition purchase or the standalone character boost purchase.
Order Status: Crucially, verify that the order status is “Complete.” If the status is still “Queued,” “Pending,” or “Processing,” the boost won’t be available yet. These statuses indicate that your payment hasn’t fully processed. This can happen if there were issues with your payment method, if there’s a delay with your bank, or if Blizzard is experiencing high transaction volume. Be patient, but if the status remains in a pending state for more than 24 hours, it’s time to contact Blizzard Support.
Refresh the Character Selection Screen: Sometimes, the game client simply needs a nudge. A simple trick to refresh the character selection screen is to create a new level 1 character. This forces the game to re-fetch your account information, which often resolves the issue of a missing boost. Delete the character if you don’t want to keep it.
Realm Specificity: Be aware that the boost is generally account-wide, not realm-specific. However, if you have multiple World of Warcraft accounts under the same Battle.net account, ensure you’re logged into the correct WoW account. It’s surprisingly easy to overlook this.
Restart the Game: A classic troubleshooting step, but often effective. Completely close the World of Warcraft client and the Battle.net launcher, then relaunch both. This ensures you’re running the latest version of the game and that all account information is properly synchronized.
Check for Known Issues: Before contacting support, check the official World of Warcraft forums or Blizzard’s customer support Twitter account for any known issues. Sometimes, a widespread problem is preventing boosts from appearing, and Blizzard will usually post an update about it.
Contact Blizzard Support: If you’ve tried all the above steps and your order is marked as “Complete” but the boost still isn’t showing up, your best bet is to contact Blizzard Support directly. You can do this through the Battle.net website. Be prepared to provide proof of purchase (a screenshot of your Transaction History) and a detailed description of the problem. Support staff can investigate your account and manually grant the boost if necessary.

Using Your Dragonflight Boost

Once you’ve located your boost, using it is straightforward. Simply select the character you want to boost on the character selection screen and click the boost icon. The game will then walk you through the process, allowing you to select a specialization and offering a brief tutorial to familiarize you with your boosted character.

Important Considerations:

Dracthyr Evokers: As mentioned earlier, Dracthyr Evokers cannot be boosted. This restriction is in place to ensure that players experience the unique starting zone and lore of this hero class.
Boosted Characters and Professions: Keep in mind that boosting a character doesn’t automatically level up their professions. You’ll need to level those separately. However, depending on the boost, you may receive some starting gear or resources to help you get started.
Reversal: Once you use a character boost, it’s generally not reversible. Choose your character wisely!
Dragonflight intro questline: To start the Dragonflight intro questline, your character must have reached at least Level 60.
